And mothers feeding cereal to their less than 6 month old babies............haba! Except otherwise advised by a doctor, you should not give your <6mth old baby cereal. I'm yet to come across any info that states you can and should give a <6mth old baby cereal, even if your doc does not preacribe it. This act is bad. Breast milk and/or Formula is all they need till 6months. Pls pls pls! |

Like someone clearly stated there r reasons y things are been done. If a doctor says give pap to a 1month old baby that's fine. As regards feeding infants cereal b4 6months; medically they say wait for 6months but my dear same medical pple say there are circumstances where u can introduce cereal at 4months; 1. D baby's ability to hold up his/her neck (that's if d head is stable) 2. D baby's interest in food while others are eating 3. D baby's ability to push food back into d mouth with d tongue when been fed with spoon and plate and learning how to chew quickly 4. If d baby takes more than 35-38ounce/oz of formula in a day (that's more than 1050ml-1330ml) etc 5. Sitting with assistance These same medical pple also said even if u introduce cereal at 4months make sure to still breastfeed alongside. Let me use my case, my son's head/neck was steady at 4months, he started sitting unassisted at 4months, my son was super interested in food while others eat, at d second attempt of feeding him with spoon, he pushed d food to d back of his mouth with his tongue, my son was drinking 64ounce of formula a day (1920ml)minus breastmilk. My son rejected breastmilk at 5months on d dot (his father did same at same age). At almost 4months my son wud cry after takin breastmilk or at times when suckin because he wasn't getting enough milk. If I had continued that way then maybe my nipple wud remain in his mouth for 24hrs. I supplemented and that helped. I don't think if it is really harmful medical association wud even allow cereal suitable from 4months to be fed to babies or even produced at all. In all u r d mother of d child, do what ur heart tells u. bossladyMo: 6 Likes 1 Share |

I say it d way I see it we re all different u might nt accept my own, let's all thank God dat ve can afford formular, some people can't is it a mother dat can't afford formular dat will eat well, some ve very demanding babies, some babies can finish 2 bottles at once, so someone dat can't feed well u expect d person to make 2 bottles of formular, is it not better d person mix with pap, I know of a kid dat was fed with pap and just salt and oil, guess wht she's still alive and she comes out top at her class, we re in nigeria and we try and get used to our surrounding,some kids re fed with just soy milk n pap and dey re still ok,am nt saying peeps dat feed dir babies pap. Can't provide formular I started using pap 4 my baby as at 3mnths and and 4 d record I visit baby centre 8 Likes |

I understand the fact that we are trying to help here but please, we don't have to put others down while doing that. As long as you are okay with the way you feed your baby, especially after getting advice from experienced mothers, carry on abeg. shndy: I have stopped using mentholata on my baby's feet considering the weather these days, as for that Agnesia, I'm not sure you should use it every time since it's a mentholated powder.

lovinam: My sister, I just weak for some things wey I dey read o and mothers here seems to be in agreement... One month old on pap?? Baby on pap, salt and oil?? Like seriously?? We need to understand that some side effects of what we do don't materialise immediately, so the argument that, "I am doing something which everybody says it's wrong but my baby is doing fine" does not hold, some things take months or even years to materialise. Just like a smoker who tells you he has been smoking for years and he doesn't have cancer so smoking must be good...fa fa fa fowl Back to the issue, true a few babies are ready for semi-solids at 4 months but there is still a lot of limitations to what they can really take and that's why only very few cereals starts from 4 months, most starts from 6 months. Even when we are going to give pap, pls lets vary it with millet and guinea corn and not just maize pap. I will go with starting from 6 months except advised otherwise by an expert. May God guide us all. 5 Likes |

mimibe: Can a 1month old do all the things listed there? How many mothers who feed their babies cereal before 6months, go through this checklist, and their babies pass each one? How many? Most of he time, the only sign they have is the baby not getting filled up....thats all! Stop setting up these children for future discomfort. You might not see the effect now, but 10-20-30 years down the line nko.... I'm really passionate about the way babies/children are handled. They can't speak for themselves, and most mothers exploit that, and toss any bull crap down their throat! This is the internet, and it is an avenue to educate mothers on the right way to do things....not indulge them! 4 Likes |

Wait oh madam, I guess u r getting it all wrong. Let me speak for myself. I don't kno what led to a mother feeding her baby pap at 2months but u never can tell. Then when I say pap, do u think. It's only pap that d baby 'll be eating? Yes babies need lotsssss of iron like u rightly said, what happens to d milk that is mixed with d pap? What happens to d other cereal that is mixed with milk? Is there no iron in d milk? I call millet and guinea corn pap as well. And not only maize. I heard yorubas call it Ogi baba. I feed my baby pap twice a week so don't think when someone is sayin pap, it means stuff ur baby up with only pap. Formulas r made for kids yes no doubt about that. What of d babies that reject breastmilk and formulas? What of d ones that are lactose intolerant Kindly ask to verify someone's statement or post b4 concluding r=bossladyMo post=32392569] Nutritional content for ADULTS...not for babies.

Like I stated b4, everyone do what ur heart tells u is ok cos I kno, no mother would want to hurt her child. My nephew is allergic and lactose intolerant and thus stopped breastmilk at 1month as well as formula. He took cereal (maize and oat) from 1month as adviced by a doctor though with a special kind of milk that he refused drinkin. What should happen to a child like that? Till today his meals are prepared specially (he is 6years) until he outgrows d allergy. I personally don't like maize but don't condemn mothers that givve their babies. I prefer guinea corn annd millet. For d 1month abi 2months old been fed pap, like I said and someone else too, u never can tell what led to that. I won't feed my baby anything other than milk at 2months but that doesn't mean my baby's case is same as another. I av stated this b4 in one of my previous post that start with rice and oat cereal at 4months because of d baby's digestive system and also introduce one cereal at a time to watch out for any reactions. Some mothers don't even give pap at all cos they don't like it while others say d stress of makin it. My son is over 6months and eats varieties but anytime I give him cerelac, he poops like 7times that day so I had to stop. To each it's own oh. 3 Likes |

U clearly understand d highlighted but from what I deduced from bossladyMo's post, we should not give our babies anything other than breastmilk or formula until 6months without any exceptions. Kimoni: |

Nita2013: I said otherwise prescribed by your doctor. There are many reasons a baby would seem like they are not getting filled up e.g badly healing navel, gas pains etc...which makes them stay so long at the brst. So your doctor than rule these other causes out, and advise you give cereal. |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by Nobody: 7:15am On Apr 06, 2015 |
Nita2013: Lactose intolerant babies have specially formulated milk that is produced specifically for lactose intolerant babies...there are many brands out there. There are soy-based formulas that such babies can take. If a baby needs to take 30oz of milk to get the required nutrient per day, by the time you add pap, there is only so much the baby's stomach can contain.....which will in turn mean less milk is ingested. Check the breakdown of your average formula and compare it with the nutritional content of the ogi baba and crayfish/groundnut mixture......it is not the same. As an accompanying meal, yes from 6mths, yes....but not as a main meal. 3 Likes |
